Quoting Head Coach Doug Miller
I am very excited about our first season at DC. I am sure there will be many learning opportunities for us as coaches and student-athletes. The group of women we have assembled are very excited about being the first-ever bowling team at Defiance. As we grow as a team, I look for us to make some noise in the WHAC this year.
